High Tea... Finally!

On the 1st of November 2010 I wrote about the "H" in my journey... High Tea at the Nellie. Well it has only taken 2 years and a slight venue change, but I am happy to report that "High Tea" can now be ticked off my list.
My Friend With A Life (FWAL) decided to treat me to tea for my 39th birthday.  But true to form she decided that the 5 star Nellie just wouldn't cut it to celebrate the last birthday of my 30's and seriously who was I to argue! I mean let's face it, for those who know me, know that I am more of a 6 star person anyway.  So it was off to the One and Only for us! (Mount Nelson: This doesn't mean that you shouldn't contact me to compare "High Teas" - I would definitely be prepared to sample your petite fours!)
Part of the One and Only experience is having a valet park your car - unfortunately, their parking was full on this particular day!  The welcoming committee (ok, security guard) told us to park next door in a shabby little dingy PUBLIC parking area!  WTF? Did he realise who we were and where we were going???
But then we saw a couple in a fancy car (don't ask me the model - it was white and only had 2 seats, so I figured it was fancy) park in the next door parking and we decided if it was good enough for them, it was good enough for us.  Besides, I reckoned because we didn't get the FULL experience this time, it really just meant that we would have to go back another time so I could experience someone else parking my car!
Anyway, once we walked in, I knew I was home. There are moments in your life when you realise that you have found the perfect little spot where you were meant to be and for me it was the lobby of the fabulous One and Only. The pieces finally fit! I felt like a celebrity who has no African roots but sings the praises of returning to the "Motherland" - Africa. Well, the One and Only became my "Motherland" - yes, I was home.

To be continued.... cocktails, cupcakes and badly dressed wedding guests!

  16. I usually do not create a leave a response, but I looked at some of the remarks here "High Tea... Finally!".
    I do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be simply me
    or do a few of these comments appear as if they are left by brain dead
    visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on additional social sites,
    I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post.

    Would you make a list of every one of all your social pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
